I was impressed with the giving spirit on this forum through the holiday season. With the season of giving fading into the rear view mirror I am hoping to do my small part to keep the spirit going through the year. For my part, I have a few slings I am not making much use of so I will de-clutter my garage and hopefully convert them from dust collectors to active frames. A wide variety including some off beat frames. It's been a fun year trying out various frames. Now that I have settled on a few regulars it is time to let some of the others go to homes where they will be used.
Rather than selling them, I will ask that whoever claims them will make a small donation to a local charity (food pantry, shelter, public school music or sports program, animal shelter, or similar) after they arrive and are verified to be in good working order. All are offered up as frames only- no bands. I also have some assorted pouches (very small or very large) and some random tubes and flat bands that were sent as extras from slingshooting.com- things I didn't ask for and don't have a use for. I don't know how to describe the tubes other than large, and the flats look like generic straight cut (I haven't opened either package). No brand name or identifiers that I can see on the tubes and bands.
Let me know if interested. If there are multiple people interested in the same frame within the first 2-3 days I will find a fair way to declare a recipient.
And apologies to those from other places, with shipping costs being what they are I am limiting to those in lower 48 of the US. If somebody from outside the US is really interested and willing to cover the shipping let me know (I expect buying these retail is probably as cheap or cheaper than covering my shipping).
The frames:
Simpleshot Hammer with wrist brace and clips. Very lightly used. I got this thinking I might try it as an arrow launcher but got back into building bows before I tried it for arrows. I did use it a bit as a slingshot and found I am not much of a hammer gripper. If you are curious or know you are a hammer gripper, this is a great chance to try this frame out. It is a well made frame, just not for me.
Slingtech Coyote. A pretty average HDPE TTF frame. Pretty similar to the Pocket Predator Sideshooter in shape and dimensions but in a nifty black and yellow color. Moderately used. I enjoyed this one a lot and it suits my hand size and shooting style very well. Only letting it go since I have a few others I like better ahead of it which leaves this one collecting dust more than spitting out ammo.
Simpleshot Torque. Well used and well liked. The Torque has generated a lot of interest and maybe a bit of a cult following. Frame only, no clips. I enjoyed this one a lot, but like the others above, am not using it much now. Nothing bad to say about it, just have found others I like better. If you have been curious about the Torque here is a chance to give it a try.
Saunders wing. Frame only, will need to order new clips for it (clips needed to attach bands for this frame, available online from Saunders). An outside the box frame that is fun to shoot and maybe the ultimate hand web supported pinch grip frame. Well used and enjoyed a lot. If you have been curious about this frame, here is a chance to try it. I did have a lot of fun playing with it, but again, I have settled on a couple of favorites and this just isn't getting used very much.
